A very nice Yamaha GD-10. Excellent condition with only a few minor signs of use. This model was produced from the 1990 to 2001.
Solid spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard.
Scale is 650 mm. Nut 52 mm Action at 12F (1st): 2.75 mm Action at 12F (6th): 2.75 mm
Set up with LaBella Recording Strings (Lightly polished, non squeak strings)
The solid spruce top they used in those models back then is Ezo spruce aka Ezomatsu. It grows in the high mountains of Hokkaido region of Japan. It's no longer allowed to be harvested by law. There are some old stocks still available in but to commission a guitar with Ezo spruce top nowadays will cost thousands.
This guitar has aged nicely. Plays great. Sounds very rich and balanced. The finish on the back is slightly cloudy which is common for Yamaha's from that era with polyurethane finish.
